Chapter 3: The unusual

Disclaimer: I would love to own any Mario Character, especially Ludwig, yet the sad truth is that I don't own any Mario character; Nintendo is privileged, I'm not. My only happiness is that I DO own this story (story only)

Story!

Grass Land

If Larry hadn't talked to it, Ludwig would have never imagined that that plant existed.

"Marcie, I 'm here, I need transportation, okay?" Larry told the plant as she answered with a light shake and by sinking down to the ground. The palace itself had dirt instead of stones for ground, Ludwig didn't exactly know why. After a few minutes an overgrown piranha plant emerged from the same spot the bud had sank to. The piranha plant made a gesture to catch Larry's attention by nudging him gently on the elbow. "Let's go" he said to Ludwig. They sat on a vine that grew from the side of the plant. The vine wrapped around them to have them secure before advancing along the halls carrying the koopalings with it. Larry was so used to this that it bored him but Ludwig was neither used to it nor he liked it. The creature was too far from the floor for Ludwig's comfort. Finally the creature came to a stop in a room with a bed and various potted plants that looked like exotic flowers of some sort. One of the flowers captivated Ludwig's attention; it was a large blue flower with thin petals inside a crystal bell for protection. The petals on the flowers were the most interesting thing; they seemed to be thin feathers.

The venomous Phaconia is the deadliest flower in the world. Don't be deceived by its attractive appearance if you lift that bell we would bought die" Larry said.

"Do you have some sort of communication device that could serve me?"

"Yep, phone, over there" Larry answered pointing over at an individual earpiece above a keyboard.

"Larry, please call the person in this paper, and tell it to come see me in my palace" Larry looked over at the purple piece of paper and then back at Ludwig.

"Ludwig, are you sure about this?"

"I'm absolutely positive, the presence of that person is absolutely vital"

"If you say so…"

After all was said and done Ludwig left for his palace in Pipe Land after asking Larry.
"Larry vhatever attacked Kind Dad must have been extremely poverfull, so take care of yourself."

Pipe Land castle….

He arrived to his palace and hurried to ask his first man Diange for messages, yet his answer was the most shocking he could have imagined at the moment.

"No messages sir, but we received messages that King Bowser was shot." Diange replied, at this Ludwig was very suspicious.
"Diange, vho told you my father vas shot?" Ludwig asked with concern.

"Why Prince Larry, he's here" Diange simply said.

"Vhat!" Ludwig yelled. "Vhere is he?" Dinage was still under the shock of having his prince yell at him like that

"He's in the throne room sir." Diange shyly replied. Without another word Ludwig stormed out through the gates to the throne room and pulled a gun from his shell asking:

Vho are you, Vhat are you and vhat are you doing here?" Larry then smirked at Ludwig.

"Indeed you highness will forever be a genius" he turned into a black koopa troopa, yet too big for his size maybe even as big as Bowser"You must indulge my curiosity, how did you know-"

"It is not necessary information. Now Vho are you?" Ludwig asked through gritted teeth. This shameless scum is sitting on my throne Ludwig thought rabid.

"I am no one and I'm none of your business, son" The black koopa said. Ludwig chuckled.
"See you just happen to find yourself sitting on my throne room, you are my business, I'm afraid"

"No son you are not, and you don't want me to be, child" the Koopa told him reminding him of Kammy as he stepped two inches far from Ludwig's face, causing great discomfort to the eldest Koopaling.

"Vhat are you intending? Vhil you kiss me old man?" The Large Koopa lifted Ludwig by his tail to hold him upside down. Instinctively Ludwig whirled to grab hold of the creature's immense fingers with his front claws and teeth while growling audibly.
"Let go of him before something bad happens to you." Said a voice from the door, Ludwig could not decipher who it was; He was too busy with the creature's fingers. Then the creature released Ludwig and disappeared as if it were a hologram. Just as Ludwig was getting up he saw his father standing at the door. The creature appeared behind him; put a hand on Bowser's shoulder and they both disappeared. Ludwig stood up thinking abut the last look his father gave him. He was covered in blood, yes but the horrible part was his face, it was covered in fear.

"Dallas" He called, his voice broke down a little as he tried to regain his composure, how did a Larry impostor get though security without Dallas or Diange saying anything about- then he thought more deeper about it. "DALLAS, SECURE THE-"he was muffled buy a hand that pulled him back as he struggled until he felt a sharp pain in his neck, then he blanked out completely after laughing at the irony of it all.

Think evil…

Iggy was cowering in a corner of the room covered and bites, dripping blood from the various wounds. Venferno was licking his paws grateful for any drop of blood he tasted.

"I' so sorry, child, I simply couldn't help it. When the messenger comes I shall finish you off." Iggy gave a grim look to his executioner.

"Ooh that's nice to know. Tell me, is it absolutely necessary to do this, or at least let me know what you are doing this for."

"Just a tool, we heard you were a magnificent Ice power and your anatomy could prove useful." At this Iggy smirked they've got the wrong guy, I'm so crashing their plans.

"Why do I feel like one of Ludwig's experiments all of the sudden?"

"Ludwig?" Venferno gave Iggy a puzzled look. "I do not understand. Very well, still the troops will take care of him too."

"Why is it that you put up with these people?"

"Why is it you put up with you older brother"

"Leave Roy out of this" Iggy thought for one second. "Do they really beat you up?" Venfreno chuckled.

"No but they serve my purpose"

"Uh-huh which is?"

"To destroy the koopa race" Iggy shrugged.

"It figures you would say something like that"

At that moment the doors flew open. At first Iggy felt like running for dear life, but then, he saw a black shelled koopa approach him. Terror spread through Iggy's face.

"W-who are y-you" He stammered whimpering.

"I am the one who shall eliminate your race, and you shall help me." The koopa got closer to Iggy who smirked watching it let its guard down, at that moment Iggy kicked the koopa on the knee and darted toward the door at full speed

"BLOW ME!" Iggy yelled as he ran through the corridors, only to be caught by some palace guards that looked like dark koopas but instead of shell they wore army uniforms.

Back in Grass Land…

Lemmy was with Larry, they had conducted a meeting about some research they had done about the current situation. Lemmy and Larry told the others about Iggy.

"…and, they didn't seem to be looking for him at all, they were looking for me."

"Aw man this is just the king of kicks I wanted for my weekend" Roy spat sarcastically.

"Yeah and if King Dad couldn't deal with this new treat, this new attacker, harasser, kidnapper; then we will prove fruitless, useless-"

"Can it Morton, the odds suck but it doesn't mean we ain't trying"

"But Morton's got a point; King Dad was practically the best chance we had." Larry said.

"Yeah but not our ONLY chance" Lemmy said a trace of a plan resounding in his voice.

"Now what" Larry said looking over at Lemmy.

"This here better be one of those times you are serious or I'll give ya a 'serious' injury" Roy said bearing his fist at Lemmy.

Lemmy simply looked at his younger brothers in disbelief. "This is Iggy we're talking about here" He said "Besides some losers are attacking us from the south"

"Aright we're listening" Roy barked. "But I don't plan Sky Land to go down the drain; Last time I checked I wasn't wearing overalls."
